Installation
Installation
Fluid pressure regulators are used for accurate positive
control of the fluid pressure to spray guns, dispensing
valves or atomizing heads.
Regulators installed at circulating line take-offs or
pumps are used to reduce main line pressure and
maintain the desired fluid pressure to the spray gun,
dispensing valve, or atomizing head.
Before Installing the Fluid
Regulator
1. Determine placement of the fluid regulators in system.
2. Install a ball valve for inlet and outlet of the regulator.
3. Install temporary plumbing between the ball valves.
4. Thoroughly flush the system to remove metal chips
and other contaminants and to check for leaks.
Installing the Fluid Regulator
1. Remove the temporary plumbing and install one
regulator for each spray gun. A mounting stud,
washers, and locknut are provided for mounting the
regulator either from the bottom or side.
2. Put sealer on threaded connections, except on
swivel unions as it interferes with the swivel action.
3. Connect the fluid supply line to the 3/8 npt(f) inlet of
the fluid regulator.
4. Connect the fluid line between the gun and the regulator’s 1/4 npt(f) outlet of choice.
NOTE: Make sure that the direction of the fluid flow
agrees with the IN and OUT markings on the regulator body.
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever
you see this symbol.
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from
pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing
fluid, and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure when you stop dispensing and before
cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.
1. Engage trigger lock.
2. Close the bleed-type master air valve.
3. Disengage the trigger lock.
4. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a grounded
metal pail. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
5. Engage the trigger lock.
Spray Tip Installation and
Removal
To avoid serious injury from skin injection, do not put
your hand in front of the spray tip when installing or
removing the spray tip and tip guard.
NOYES
Trigger Lock
Always engage the trigger lock when you stop spraying
to prevent the gun from being triggered accidentally by
hand or if dropped or bumped.
6. Open all fluid drain valves in the system, having a
waste container ready to catch drainage. Leave
drain valve(s) open until you are ready to spray
again.
7. If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or
that pressure has not been fully relieved:
a. VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip guard retaining
nut or the hose end coupling to relieve pressure
gradually.
b. Loosen the nut or the coupling completely.
c. Clear the obstruction in the hose or tip.
306878ZAA7
Operation
Adjusting the Regulator
The fluid pressure regulator controls pressure down
stream from its outlet.
NOTE: The inbound fluid pressure needs to be higher
than the set point fluid pressure.
To adjust the fluid regulator, first, back the knob out until
there is no spring pressure. Then, turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure.
NOTE: If you are using an accessory fluid pressure
gauge, relieve the spray gun line when reducing pres-
sure to ensure a correct gauge reading.
Adjust the pump air pressure and the fluid regulator for
the best spraying combination. In a circulating system,
also adjust the back pressure valve.
Record all the settings for future reference. The valve
cylinder (7) has exterior markings (set points 1 to 8) for
repeat settings.
Flush the Equipment
4. Open the fluid regulator by turning the adjusting
knob (6) fully clockwise.
5. Supply solvent to the system. Set pump to the lowest possible pressure, and start pump.
6. Flush until thoroughly clean.
7. Adjust the fluid regulator to return to the desired
fluid pressure setting.
To avoid fire and explosion, always ground e quipment
and waste container. To avoid static sparking and
injury from splashing, always flush at the lowest possible pressure.
•Flush before changing colors, before fluid can dry in
the equipment, at the end of the day, before storing,
and before repairing equipment.
•Flush at the lowest pressure possible. Check connectors for leaks and tighten as necessary.
•Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid
being dispensed and the equipment wetted par ts.
1. Record the pressure adjustment setting of the regulator before flushing.
2. Shut off the pump and follow Pressure Relief Pro-cedure.
3. Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the
lowest rated system component.

Maintenance
COMPONENT RUPTURE HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including
fluid injection or splashing in the eyes or on the skin:
•Always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on
page 7 before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, or
removing the regulator from the system.
•Never pressurize the system with the fluid regulator adjusting knob remo ved.
•Never completely remove the adjusting knob
when system pressure is present.
Flushing
Refer to Flush the Equipment on page 8 for the flushing procedure.
Cleaning
When changing fluids or colors, the regulator should be
disassembled and cleaned. Regular cleaning and
inspection, and lubrication of the piston (15) and piston
packing (10) are necessary to keep the fluid regu lat or
working properly.
Maintenance
Repairing
Normally, only the ball support (21), seat (20) and piston
packing (10) will ever need replacement. Repair Kit
220139 is available to replace these parts. See Parts on
page 10.
1. Lubricate the piston packing (10), piston (15), and
spring locater (11) with lithium base grease.
2. Place the washer (19) over the pointed end of the
piston (15).
3. Place the packing (10), with its lips facing down,
over the pointed end of the piston (15) and against
the washer (19).
4. Insert the piston (15) into the bottom of the cylinder
(7) and gently work it into place.
5. Reassemble the remaining parts in reverse order of
disassembly. Torque the valve seat (20) into the
housing to 175-200 in-lb (20-22 N•m). Over-tightening could break off the hex portion of the seat.
1. Relieve all the air and fluid pressure in the system.
2. Remove the regulator from the system.
3. Disassemble the regulator. See Parts on page 10.
Clean and inspect all parts.
NOTICE
Use special care when handling the hard carbide
portions of the piston (13) and seat (12). Damage
will cause poor operation and leakage.
